I'm so glad to you post so much lost kingdoms content; my childhood best friend used to bring that game over to my house all the time so seeing it again has been a huge nostalgia trip! i never see anyone talk about that game so i had forgotten about it until i started seeing your posts. thanks for helping me find it again! :~}
IT’S BEEN MY PLEASURE! DOLPHIN HAS REALLY ROBUST GRAPHICAL, HACKING, MODDING, AND DUMPING FUNCTIONALITY SO I’M TRYING TO CAPTURE THE CREATIVITY AND ATMOSPHERE OF THIS GAME IN A WAY NOBODY ON THE INTERNET HAS BOTHERED TO AS OF YET. DOLPHIN’S TOOLS HAVE GIVEN ME INDISPENSABLE CONTROL OVER THE EMULATION LIKE UI TOGGLE, ON-THE-FLY HACKING, HI-RES TEXTURE MODDING, RENDER UPSCALING, AND FREECAM. I JUST CAN’T RECOMMEND IT ENOUGH.
I HAD FORGOTTEN LOST KINGDOMS UNTIL I GOT DEEP INTO DARK SOULS AND IT’S BEEN REALLY FASCINATING SEEING SOME OF THE CREATIVE AND AESTHETIC ROOTS OF THAT SERIES IN THIS FORGOTTEN GAMECUBE GAME. IMO BY THE INTERNAL LOGIC OF THE SOULSBORNE SERIES, THIS IS JUST AS CANON AS KING’S FIELD. I RLY HOPE I'M TEMPTING SOME SOULS FANS TO CHECK IT OUT.
IT’S PROFOUNDLY STRAIGHTFORWARD AND GENUINE, FROM A TIME WHEN GAMES WERE FUCKING GOOFY AND MISGUIDED AS A MEDIUM AND AN INDUSTRY. LOST KINGDOMS IS TRADING IN THE RAW UNIRONIC WONDER OF MONSTERS AND SPELLS AND ABANDONED CASTLES WITHOUT SPILLING ANIME SHIT AND COMIC RELIEF ALL OVER THE PLACE. IT’S JUST SO UNDERSTATED AND HAUNTING AND GOOD
